Ok, so I don't require an exact format but since there are some newbies and the new captain must post for the points. I am giving a few samples. The key things for a book review:
1. Your review must include the weekly item you are reading (perferably at the top or in bold)
2. A link to the book (cover or words)
3. The date you finished reading the book
4. A 1-5 star level (hearts or smilies work too just as long as it is on a 5 point scale)
5. A Review at least 2 sentences. Did you like it would you want to read more.
6. Any other items you are claiming
It could look like this.
Week 5- Curly Hair
by Orson Scott Card Finished 11/26/12 5 starsI absolutely love this tale of sleeping beauty. It isn't your standard telling. I am curious to read more from this author
Items:
Curly Hair- She wouldn’t have had a perm and a dye on the same day if it hadn’t been for him. Pg 286
Snow- Snow in the north. pg 229
BraShe had thought the bra Sophia had bought for her in the village could not possibly be any more uncomfortable, but now she knew better. Pg 244
PaperShe had thought the bra Sophia had bought for her in the village could not possibly be any more uncomfortable, but now she knew better. Pg 244
Here is an example of what the captain post would look like in the Point Request Thread. BadAss 8
Request for Curly Hair point
E: The Mane Attraction finished 9/7/12 [Review] Also claimed Wind, Fruit, Boots
Dyllan: Something About You finished 9/7/12 [Review] Also claimed Wind. Piano, Tie
Laura: Blood in the Water finished 9/8/12 [Review] Also claimed Rainbow, Cake, Sock
Paris: The Red Queen finished 9/10/12 [Review] Also claimed Mist, Shelf, Hood
Sheila wrote: "Oh no, say it isn't so - Paris has gone to the dark side."HA! Sorry Sheila. Dyllan, Laura and I ended up on the same team again. Everyone else is going down this time.
In case any one needs the help to create a link there is a new thread with step by step directions. How to Make a Link
Sorry Dawn, We are doing our trash talk while you are trying to give instructions. We can delete our posts if you like.
Sheila wrote: "Sorry Dawn, We are doing our trash talk while you are trying to give instructions. We can delete our posts if you like."No problem. Hopefully everyone will see them. If not they are there and I can now just refer questions back to them.
Dawn when our week has an additional point beside the item of the week do you want us to list also ie: request for curly hair and rainbow point
Jenne wrote: "Dawn when our week has an additional point beside the item of the week do you want us to list also ie: request for curly hair and rainbow point"Yes I think, I haven't thought out the logistics yet. Bad Dawn.
It would need to be listed seperately. It could be in the same post, but each persons link to the non called item also. I will grant non called points with out a specific post though, because the spread sheet will notify me when they are earned. So even if a captain doesn't post it the team will get them. But I think it will help if there is a post to claim them.
Alrighty got it :) thanks Dawn!BTW Jenne & the Noobs I mean Triple the Trouble is gonna smack down the completion! We've got beginners luck in our side :)
Here is the link to the game spreadsheet. It is layed out differently from prvs rounds. Feel free to let me know which you like better for future rounds.

Here come Trouble!
Won't it sting so much more when they realize they've been blindsided by 3 newbies. Though, it should not surprise them that they will be taken down by our leader, Jenne!
Dawn, I just have a question about requesting the stamps.Obviously, we will request stamps for the called items. However, should/can we also claim stamps for the non-called items if the whole team has them?
And if so, how would that work if the item is called later?
Ok here is an example of what a captain post claiming a bonus non-called item might look like. *Thanks team 8 for being my guinea pigs.

It could be done as one post or as two.
Camilla wrote: "And if so, how would that work if the item is called later? ..."Sorry I missed the last part.
If it is called later the previous claimed points just don't matter. They are still there you don't lose your item point. But you will want to post again when everyone reads the item again because with a new book they can claim the 3 extra items.
Make Sense?

Yes, makes perfect sense! Thank you so much for clarifying! :)
In tribute to Pat who has already started her hourly count down. Approx 48 hours left until kick off!
I didn't see the sign ups until now or I would've joined sooner. If any team needs a backup send me a message and I'll fill in!

Hey Dawn, can I be put on a team or on the back up list? The time got away from me with Thanksgiving. :)

Dawn (Kat N Hat) wrote: "Here is the link to the game spreadsheet. It is layed out differently from prvs rounds.

I was editing a few minutes ago to add new players and removed the freeze line. I will put it back in right now.
Just took my first look at the spread sheet! Lookin good!I had trouble with the last one, some of them were really hard to see, this one is great!
Thanks for the inspiration for the new spreadsheet layout Carob. I am just hoping all the hidden formulas work right. So anyone feel free to point out if the math doesn't look right as we get going.

No no a tease would be telling you I thought about posting the item just after midnight Friday morning. Then decided not to do it 7 hours early.

Can't you please go back on your decision? Waiting is hard
If I thought I might make it until midnight...maybe. But there has been drama in my life this afternoon and I really am ready to go to bed now... at 7pm. To bad the kids arn't ready.

I lost my daughter today after school. Last month there was a young girl abducted and murdered about 20 miles from us, so tensions are high in the area. After school she wasn't where I told her to meet me, thinking she forgot and walked home like normal I went home. I got home and realised she wasn't there. I panicked got my neighbors involved, ran back to the school got them looking for her. Only then for another mother to point out, it's Thursday isn't she in choir practice? And she, was exactly where she was supposed to be I was just early (well there at the normal time since I forgot about choir practice.) All is well, I just feel a bit silly and emotionally drained. And exhausted from my 7 block run... I really should get in better shape. In the middle of all this my cell phone dies so I can't call the neighbors to let them know I found her. It was like a bad sitcom episode.
But kids are asleep, I am off to bed, I'll see you all in the morning.
